Eleven students from Whittier Col lege were honored on Thursday, Oct. 17 as recipients of individual scholarships from the Los
Angeles Philanthropic Foundation. The awards, which together
amount to $22,000, were given at
an evening ceremony and were
accompanied by commemorative
plaques in each person's name.
The event was attended by
scholarship recipients from 13
southern California private colleges and universities, including
California Institute of Technology, Chapman University, Occidental College and University of
Southern California.
The recipients from Whittier
were sophomores Cynthia Bock,
Erica Strode, Janice Pare and Nancy Franklin; juniors Jose Burgos,
Andrew Carlton, Lynda Amsell,
John Maki, Natalie Wenn and Dan
Williams and senior Mica Murillo.
"The Foundation is a great
organization that has helped a lot
to enable me to afford my education at Whittier," Wenn said. Franklin concurred, adding, "I was
amazed to see these people who
are giving so much to the community. It's definitely an honor to

receive such an award."
Scholarships were granted
based on three criteria, determined
by the Foundation: a student candidate must have a 3.0 cumulative
grade point average, an active interest in his/her community and
proof that he/she is a citizen ofthe
United States.
Using these criteria as a basis,
selection ofthe scholarship recipients was overseen by the financial aid office as a part ofthe aid
program. The allotted scholarships were then included in the
students' financial aid packages
for the Fall semester.
Director of Maj or Gifts for the
Office of Advancement, Paul M.
Carey, was involved with the se-

lection process, which also involved a member of the Foundation as a liaison.
"The Foundation has been
very generous to Whittier College," Carey said, "and it's nice to
give the donors some publicity, as
not only is it good for them, but it
also shows the public how the
College is supported by the community."
According to an informational brochure, the Foundation is a
non-profit California organization
of 400 members which is designed
principally as a source of funds
for undergraduate scholarships
and some education-related charities.
The Foundation is led by a
voluntary Board of Directors
which oversees the collection of
dues from the Foundation's mem-
scholarships for the 1996-97

bers. The dues are then invested
directly into the endowment portfolio, which, according to the brochure, has a gross worth of over
$4 million.
It is out of the interest from
this endowment that the scholarship funds are extracted, so the
principal remains intact from year
to year. This maintenance of principal is important, since the funds
for scholarship recipients are allocated per semester.
But the Foundation organizes
itself such that finances are its
goal-related focus, not its preoccupation. Murillo said, "The [donors] are really friendly; they don't
just give you the money, they set
up dinners and luncheons to try
and get to know the recipients.
It's been great to actually thank
them in person."

► 17 years after first receiving
cardiac repair surgery, Phil
Pizzino went to the hospital this
past week to undergo a routine
maintenance operation.

QC Editor-in-Chief
Mailroom clerk Phil Pizzino
is currently in recovery after undergoing a quadruple bypass surgery on Monday, Oct. 21. Pizzino
had been in an intensive care unit
at St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton.
Tuesday, Oct. 23, he had been
moved to a critical care unit, and
Wednesday, Oct. 23 Pizzino was
at a regular unit in cardiac care,
according to his wife, Jo Pizzino.
Pizzino had a double bypass
surgery 17 years ago. The repairs
usually last 10 years before surgery must be repeated. A month
ago, Pizzino went to the doctors
for a check-up and found a dis-
functioning artery, according, to
Chief of Campus Safety, Ed Malone, who runs the mailroom and
is a friend of Pizzino.
"He came through well with
no complications," Malone said.
If recovery continues to go well,
Pizzino should be home after the
weekend, according to mailroom
assistants Ruth VanBuskirk and
Dorothy Dooling.
"He's a bit depressed and
doesn't have much of an appetite," his wife said. "We hope to
have him home by Saturday."
Although Pizzino may leave
the hospital within the week, doctors estimate a six to eight week
recovery time, in which he will
also be missing from the mail-
room staff.
